Dilemma (Between Friends and Love)

Leave that man

Tonight I was transferred to Grandma's room because she said she wanted to sleep with me. Grandma also very painstakingly fed me the porridge she made.

I could only keep quiet while feeling such sincere affection from grandma. But suddenly I remembered the traitor Aldo, making my appetite disappear.

"Grandmother, I'm full." My word.

"But you just ate a little, Lia."

"I'm really full, Grandma."

Finally, grandma complied, because maybe grandma can feel the sadness in my heart through the look on my face.

"What exactly happened, until you passed out in the middle of the road?" Asked President Zukril who suddenly entered the grandmother's room.

How do I answer President Zukril's question? My mouth felt stiff, my heart was so broken that I remembered the betrayal committed by Aldo, the man I had loved and whom I had fought for.

Right now I don't know what to do, I love Aldo so much. But the people I love are betraying me.

"I'm sorry, for now I can't tell anyone about my problems." I said.

President Zukril could only sigh. "Alright, but I'm just reminding you not to keep a big deal alone. If you could tell your problem to someone you trust."

Who is the person I should tell you about this? I couldn't possibly have told my parents about this, I was afraid that they would even worry about me.

I used to always tell Kanaya my problems, but she's the one that's my problem now. I should how?

Then I looked at grandma. Yes, grandma is the right person for me to tell you about the problem I am having right now. I hope Grandma will understand.

"I want to tell grandma, I beg Zukril to leave us both." I said.

"Alright, I hope after telling my grandmother everything you can be calmer." Then President Zukril came out of Grandma's room.

Leave me and Grandma both in the room. "grandmother." My speech.

"Tell me your problem, what's wrong?"

I told everything to Grandma. Starting from me pretending to be the lover of President Zukril, until the betrayal that Aldo committed to me. Everything didn't go away I told my grandmother.

"I'm sorry for lying to Grandma, maybe what I'm going through right now is karma for lying to grandma."

Hearing my words, Grandma shook her head. "No dear. You're not wrong, Zu asked you to pretend to be his lover in front of grandma. And about your problem with Aldo, I don't know why Grandma has had such a hunch about this since the first time she met you. At that time Grandma felt that something was going to happen to you, and that something was going to make your heart feel very broken."

"And I feel it now, Grandma." I said with a broken cry.

Grandma hugged me, then stroked my head. "Every problem there must be a way out baby, grandma believes you must be strong through all this. Can grandma give you any advice?"

"What advice is that, grandma?"

"Leave that man, he doesn't deserve to be with you. You deserve a much better man than him, leave him."

All this confused me. On the one hand I love Aldo very much, but on the other hand he has betrayed me. How'this? Why is this feeling like it deliberately traps me in a dilemma!

"All decisions are in your hands, Lia. Try to think about all this carefully. Do not be rash in making a decision, especially when in a state of anger or disappointment. Try to make a decision in a cool head and calm heart, but also do not close your ears to hear the advice of others." Grandmother said.

I don't know, I really don't know what to do. All I know now is that I want to stay with Aldo, but I don't want to hurt my best friend either.

This morning President Zukril drove me home, actually I can go home alone but he insisted.

"If you ever need anything just call me, yeah, I'll definitely meet you." President Zukril said as his hand held the steering wheel.

"I'm actually happy to be bothered with you." Her speech.

This is a very strange person, even happy to be bothered.

"Hayo, happy to think about what?" Tempted President Zukril, who saw me instantly daydreaming.

I was immediately shocked when I heard the words of President Zukril. "I didn't think of anything." My eagle.

"really?" He said with a strange smile.

Look at him giving off his deathly smile again.

"Talia, whatever your problem is I hope you can handle it. I'm sure you're a strong woman. But if you need help with your problem, don't ever hesitate to ask me for help."

Confusion is holding me back now, why do I have to go through all this? My heart hurts, it hurts. The people I love betray me.

Now that she is guiltlessly in love with my best friend, she is so hearty. Why did all this have to happen to me? Why is!

"Talia, why are you crying?"

I was shocked to hear the words of President Zukril. It turned out without me noticing my tears were rushing down my cheeks.

"I'll tell you your problem, Talia. Don't you be so damned, look now you're burdened like that."

Should I tell this matter to President Zukril, but I still have doubts.

"Tell me, don't doubt me." Then President Zukril pulled the car over.

How about this, do I have to tell this matter to President Zukril?

Seeing the gaze of President Zukril who was so attached to look at me, made me so sure to tell it.

I let out a long sigh, then began to tell everything to President Zukril. Starting from my meeting with Aldo, when I started to fall in love and have a love affair with Aldo. Then when I give everything to Aldo, until Aldo betrays me and makes love with my best friend.

Seen from his face, President Zukril ignited emotions when he heard my story. He gripped the steering wheel tightly.

"Based on a jerk, don't know yourself! I'll ruin that effort."

"Don't do it, Zukril." Prevent me.

"Why?! The man was already so outrageous and did not know himself. You've done so much for him, but what is he doing to you now?"

"I still love him anyway."

Suddenly President Zukril was stunned when he heard my words, looking at his face change. I don't know what he's thinking.

"Once your love for a man does not know himself, even if he has betrayed you still keep the love for him." Said President Zukril with a flat face.

I am also very confused by my heart this President Zukril, for some reason I am so stupid. Even though he was hurt, but still loved.

I was so confused and scared. Confused about this lingering love, and afraid when you will experience pain in the heart that hurts even more than this.
